In 1852 the United States Government
sent a small herd OF camels into Texas
with the idea of using them to cross
the so called Great American Desert.
The camels prospered and multiplied; but
when the war came they were scattered
through the State and in Arizona, and many
of them became wild. Railroads have
solved the Great American Desert problem,
and the camels have fallen into innocuous
desuetude. Some of them ere TO be exhibit
ed at the coming Texas State fair.

mangling him severely, fed as suddenly as

so sudden was the attack, and SO severe the

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofits existence In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events. and the careful chroni.
cling of the history of what is going on in toe
world hiss ever been its sim. It is always
welcomed in the household, while IL the
counting roOr, and workshop it has become
invaluable
The GAZETTE has better facilities tor oi
tanning news than any paper outside c. he
national capital Situated as it is so close
to the great centre Of new, it enjoys daily
the benef; o; the Associated Press Dis
patches from every part otthe world hence
its patrons eau read from lis columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well a.
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve anG
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE u great desideratum with mer-
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and othe,
centres
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
mond and every section of the State, is pub.
lshed regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchas-
ing. That this is selfevident may be infer.
red from the fact that large country ed.
tion-nearly as large as the daly--is sent
all over this section OF country three tires
a week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here OR to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of ad.
vertisng in the GAZETTE are, therefore, at-
darent.

In the evenings the men love to assem-
Bile and sing, their songs being amorous
ditties or the more stirring patriotic airs
of Mexico. These airs are sweet and
pleasant to listen to in the clear and
lovely nights, when everything seems so
peaceful and quiet The men are far
from being demonstrative in any way, and
as n class are remarkably temperate; they
arc excellent woodsmen and fair hunters.
AS may be supposed, they are very frugal
and not at all envious. Scarcely any of
them are quick motioned. Calm, de-
liberate and decent In all their every day
affairs, they form g peasantry worthy Of
commentator. To an American they
appear slow; perhaps they are so, but the
warm climate has good deal to do with
that. They are extremely hospitable, and
in periods Of sickness very kind. In re-
gard to diseases they are absolutely fear
less, especially as to smallpox, going where
1t is known to exist without moments
hesitation, and seeming at times to really
court q chance to face that dreadful dis
ease. In consequence many Of them are
pitted with pockmarks, which they are in
no way ashamed of. They have not
much knowledge of medicine, and some
of their remedies are quaint enough-as
boiled mesquite bark for fevers and pull
velrized eggshells for ague. They have
great faith in charms and amulets, as well
as the healing power of laying on of
hands.-Chihuahua (Mex.) Cor. Chicago
Times.

Those who want to know something
about the daily life of a Democratic states
man should procure a copy of the inven-
tory of the Tilden estate. This has been
finished, and when printed in catalogue
form will fill 130 pages. Everything on
the farm and in the house is set down in
this interesting record. The contents of
the kitchen, among which were one wash
rag, dish rag, dozen dish towels and one
broken fire Shovel are recorded as
infinitely as those Of the front hall, which
reJoiced in the possession of hat stand,
an umbrella stand and one pair of old
overshoes.
Mr.. Tildcn's personal wardrobe is
recorded in items, and it makes an inter-
esting catalogue. The aged statesman
was the proud possessor of 95 pair. of
bifurcated undergarments and solitary
pair of suspenders, which the catalogue
describes as old. He owned "a linen
handkerchiefs and of silk The cata-
logue mentions 81 pair of silk stockings,
pair of woolen and pair of 'oldn
socks. Mr.. Tilden believed in keeping
warm. He owned overcoats-3 for
autumn and 2 for winter-and linen
duster in case Of emergency. He had z
undershirts, 1S linen shirts and lovely
flannel shirt. The last was probably used
for yachting. Mr.. Tilden possessed 3 hats
OF the breed commonly described as
dicers. . One was fair and one was
dark; both We're tall and neither swas
young. Mr.. Tilden had shoes, / of
which was alone in the world and had
fallen into condition of innocuous desue-
tude., He also had pair of canvas wa
terpr0of boots.-New York Times,

The question of how cheap family can
live and how cheap q workman might live,
and how cheap a preacher should live, etc. !,
has been debated in public and discussed
in private on divers and numerous oc-
casions, but has it ever occurred to you,
reader, how cheaply a student who is hew-
ing his own way through college by his
own unaided exertions must lives l was
sitting in o suburban depot waiting for
the train which was to take me back to
Chicago, one day last week, when l was
accosted by young man whom I recog-
nized as a student in attendance on a
prominent school not far away,
He is studying for the ministry, and
freely informed me that he had been out
delivering subscription books, and that
this was his way Of earning a college edu-
cation. 'I occasionally miss a term," he
remarked, cheerily, "but manage, after
all, to get along comfortably" "How
much does it cost your poorest students to
liver inquired. eff they board them
selves, as I and many do" he replied,
''about a dollar week pays the expenses.
But" he added, "some live on less than
that, and know of friend of mine in the
same school, an earnest biblical student,
who told me himself only recently that he
lives on thirty eights per weekr' The
statement made me gasp for breath, for I
well remembered how hard 1t used to be
for certain student to worry his way
through on seventy cents a week. Yet
cases of this kind are common enough all
about us.-Cor. Chicago Journal.
